Veg_InteractionBubble v0.9.0-preview

A new preview update for Veg_InteractionBubble is now available.

This version focuses on structure, presentation, and positioning polish while preserving the existing feature set.

What changed?

• Updated the plugin version to v0.9.0-preview.
• Reorganized the internal code structure into clearer modules.
• Rewritten help text with a cleaner and more professional format.
• Reorganized Plugin Manager parameters with visual section dividers.
• Added new visual presets: Dark and Vegey.
• Preserved existing presets: Custom, Default, Minimal, and Pixel.
• Added public API aliases for cleaner script calls.
• Bubble Offset X/Y and Arrow Offset X/Y properly support negative values.
• Added Auto Sprite Height positioning support.
• Added Sprite Height Padding for better vertical spacing.
• Added per-event positioning notetags.
• Above Event and Above Player placement can use the current visible sprite height.
• Bottom Center mode is unchanged.

New visual presets

Dark
A simple dark translucent style designed for horror, mystery, and atmospheric projects.

Vegey
A more polished default-style preset with comfortable spacing and a cleaner presentation.

New API aliases

The old script calls still work, but this version also adds cleaner aliases:

Veg.InteractionBubble.setEnabled(true);
Veg.InteractionBubble.setDefaultButton("E");
Veg.InteractionBubble.setDefaultRadius(2);
Veg.InteractionBubble.setPreset("Vegey");

Positioning improvements

With Auto Sprite Height enabled, the bubble tries to appear above the visible character sprite instead of relying only on a fixed tile-based offset.

If the plugin cannot detect a valid sprite height, it safely falls back to the previous offset behavior.

New positioning notetags

<InteractionAutoHeight: true>
<InteractionAutoHeight: false>
<InteractionHeightPadding: 8>

Manual positioning still works

You can still use manual offsets, including negative values:

<InteractionBubble: Talk>
<InteractionAutoHeight: false>
<InteractionOffsetY: -96>

Compatibility note

Auto height uses the current Sprite_Character height. If another plugin draws visuals outside of that sprite, manual positioning may still be better:

<InteractionAutoHeight: false>

Status

This is still a public preview release. The core features are ready to use, but feedback is welcome, especially for pixel movement, 8-direction movement, UI readability, and visual preset behavior.
